➳TARA is gone. Her presence is lingering around here like a ghost. Maybe she is haunting me because I couldn't keep her alive, like I should've been doing. Maybe I should've been paying attention more and hadn't let my guard down for a single second.
I wish that I could say we didn't get to say goodbye to each other, but we did. We got to say our goodbyes to one another; except, we didn't think it would be for the last time, though. It was, though, but neither of us knew it at the time. It should've been me. I know that now, and I knew it as soon as it happened.
I felt a pain in my chest — deep inside of my heart — just like I did when Paul died. It was this horrible pain, the worst that I have ever felt before. She was my best friend and I would say sister, but maybe we loved each other too much for that. People come and go all the time, but she was supposed to live forever. That was the promise we made to one another, that we would live forever together. Nobody can live forever, but... We would grow old together, but she left me behind, so that she could die young.
I've never, ever had such a strong friendship with anyone like I did with Tara. Our friendship lasted longer than any that I have ever had before. We clicked... right at the very start. We were meant to be best friends forever.
One question that I do have is... What am I supposed to do now? She's gone and I'm still here, and all I want is for her to come back. We had all these plans and, now, she's gone — and we can't do those plans anymore. What will I do now that she's gone forever? I really and truly have no idea; but, somehow, this pain is one of the worst that I've ever felt before in my whole entire life. I just lost my brother and, now, I've lost my best friend, too.
My girls will be better off without me. I have convinced myself of that. Mollie knows how to take care of herself and Tory. Still, I would like to ask either Aaron or Daryl to look after them for me. Aaron probably will, but Daryl will stay bitter. No matter what, I will never make that man happy for as long as I live. And, yet... I always seemed to miss him when he was gone and looking for signs of life of Rick before.
I fooled myself into thinking that I could actually be happy without my brother around, as long as I had Tara. Then, just like that, she was taken from me, too. As much as I want her back, all I want now is to be taken with her. Maybe there is a place up in the sky for everyone who has died along the way. Hopefully, I'll find signs of their lives out there. What if Rick is there, too?
I'm an idiot and I'm so selfish. I'm stupid and horrible. I deserve to die after this. I can't keep anyone alive for shit. No matter how hard I try... It'll never be enough, and neither will I, either. Bury me between Paul and Tara at Hilltop, exactly where I desire to be. I want to lie between them, my brother and best friend.
